Abstract:
Xiaoruwan is one of the classic prescriptions included in the Catalogue of Ancient Classic Prescriptions (the Second Batch of Pediatrics) published by the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) in 2022 with definite clinical efficacy, but it has not been converted into Chinese patent medicine preparations. The authors collected 173 pieces of data based on ancient literature on Xiaoruwan by the method of bibliometrics and selected 99 pieces of effective data, involving 46 ancient books of TCM. The study analyzed the historical development origin, prescription names, formulation rules, dosage, drug origin, preparation method and usage, indications and functions, and other aspects of Xiaoruwan. The results showed that Xiaoruwan was presumably derived from Ying Hai Miao Jue Lun(《婴孩妙诀论》) written by TANG Minwang, a doctor in the Song Dynasty. In the records of ancient medical books, there are names such as Xiaoshiwan,Yangshi Xiaoruwan, and Kuaige Xiaoshiwan, but they are mainly recorded in the name of Xiaoruwan. The prescription was composed of Cyperi Rhizoma, Amomi Fructus, Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, Massa Medicata Fermentata, Hordei Fructus Germinatus, and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma. In terms of processing method, Cyperi Rhizoma, Massa Medicata Fermentata, and Hordei Fructus Germinatus are fried, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma is processed, and raw materials of Amomi Fructus and Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium are used directly. In terms of function, it is effective in warming the middle, improving digestion, stopping vomiting, and digesting milk and food. The main indications include vomiting, diarrhea, night crying, and other diseases caused by milk and food stagnation. The dosage of the most used prescription in the records of ancient books is Cyperi Rhizoma 41.30 g, Amomi Fructus 20.65 g, Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium 20.65 g, Massa Medicata Fermentata 20.65 g, Hordei Fructus Germinatus 20.65 g, and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma 20.65 g, which are prepared into pills. In the taking method, it is recommended to take it with warm boiled water or ginger soup after meals. The study summarized the historical evolution of Xiaoruwan and identified the key information, with a view to providing a reference for the modern development and research of Xiaoruwan.
